Willem V of Orange

Stadtholder Willem V of Orange (8 March 1748-9 April 1806) was the President of the United Provinces from 1751 to 1806. Willem allied with Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War of 1775-1783, and after a failed attempt on capturing Maine from the United States, he declared war on Britain in 1780. He was officially overthrown in 1795 during the French Revolutionary Wars when the First French Republic invaded the Netherlands and deposed him, but he led a government-in-exile in 1806.
